Need a Cardiologist in Cabo


Quote: Originally posted by Paula  

Dr Edgar Cuevas, a very good cardiologist in La Paz, advised my husband not to buy essential medications from Similares because the quality control is unreliable. So for your blood pressure and cholesterol meds, and other heart meds, etc. shop at Benevides, ISSTE, or Famacia Especialidades. Pills that treat depression and other non-life threatening conditions can be bought from Similares.

I am not an expert in this matter, but if Dr. Cuevas gives this advice I think it is worth following-- better safe than sorry! I think the generic is available at these pharmacies at a fairly reasonable price. ISSTE ans Especialidades are on th ecorner of Madero and N Bravo, near La Fonda restaurant in La Paz. Benevides is downtown, but I don't know the street name.


Is Cuevas still the guy to see in La Paz?

Got a GP in Pescadero who looks everything up on his laptop so he might not be familiar with my heart meds: Metoprolol and Amlodipine. Anyone know these meds?

And a cardiologist in Cabo?

What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.
